#he thinks im lying or something. its all a sham....

[cartoon-skeleton]

my dad has this weird misconception that i don't like pop music or 'old people music' ('old people' meaning his generation. so like early gen x.) which he consistently brings up whenever we discuss music... its like actually i think youre just inventing an entirely different version of me in ur mind because if im being perfectly honest ive been injecting midlife crisis pop directly into my veins for YEARS

Gale Reviews: ML Season 4 episode 13 Optigami

(Spoilers below)

-I will only go over things I missed from my live reaction.

-So Gabriel planted the idea in the award show by pretending it was Audrey's. Thats pretty slick.

-Trixx was the one that suggested Alya be a permanent wielder. But Marinette was against it. Though Alya insisted she could help.

-Marinette didn't want to get into the elevator because she didn't want to rush things.

-Alec was calling Audrey unfashionable and then told EVERYONE that the award was a sham. Which is true but DAMN Alec was vicious.

-Audrey wants vengeance and doesn't care. Lol she would.

-Gabriel HAD WAY TOO MUCH FUN ROASTING HER.

-So Alya and Nino hid in case Ladybug needed them.

-Zoé tried to pull Chloé down to safety but Chloé used her as a shield. (also she is still wearing the anti akuma charm around her neck.)

-No cap, but I love the glitter building design

-Adrinette in the elevator is cute

-Okay so the text conversation

Marinette: Im stuck in the elevator.

Alya: With Adrien

Marinette: YEAAAAA (fREAKED OUT CAUSE DANGER)

Adrien: Nino, I am stuck in the elevator with Marinette.

Nino: (The only one who doesn't know anything) AWESOME ADRIEN AND MARINETTE ARE STUCK TOGETHER IN THE ELEVATOR.

(Alya pretends to be thrilled)

Alya: How are you going to do what you have to?

(Okay enough texts)

-Nino is a real one and deserves that alya smooch.

-Alec is just COWERING IN THE BATHROOM.

-and Alec gets rekt.

-Luka telling Wayhem not to worry, before protecting him with his hand

-Luka getting all romantic in the vent. Glad he took his break up with Marinette in stride. Good on him.

-Audrey says no gays in the vents like a b****

-So Marinette has an emergency phone for the Kwami. Thats smart.

-Marinette is bad at lying

-"Kaalki. Im not a horse. Im a noble steed"

-How is Adrien Not realizing whats going on?

-Sass is adorable. Cause Kaalki is a b****

-They think bunnyx and Marinette is like NO!

-Adrien notices the sentimonster and shushes her

-Gonna say this once, Adrien and Marinette not being known as Aspik and Multimouse just saved BOTH of their bacons

-Adrien being there actually had Shadowmoth kind of care and NOT want his son glittered. So... yay?

-Kim missed that ENTIRE THING! I CANT EVEN

-Alya calls the Kwami with Marinette's blessing

-So sentinino was used as bait to lure out alya. DAMN YOU SHADOWMOTH, THATS ACTUALLY CLEVER'

-Kaalki is slowly becoming one of my favorites.

-Alya took the turtle on impulse.

-Nathalie and Hawkmoth deduced that Alya isn't an ordinary holder... OH NO. That isn't good at all

-So I glossed over this but... SENTIMONSTERS CAN USE MIRACULOUS! THATS TERRIFYING

-omg SO MUCH DESTRUCTION KAALKI

-LADYBEE IS BORN!

-Ladybug figured she doesn't need a lucky charm to win today.

-Yo Chat noir is so heartbroken but holds it in. poor guy

-Look I gotta give props to chat noir on hiding how hurt he is. Making a joke over the fact he WANTS to tell her who he is but can't.

-Senti-nino's confusion at the high five!

-Thats when Ladybug realizes the trap!

-Chat noir was eating a cookie while just standing there.

-HOLD UP! LADYBUG AND CHAT NOIR DIDNT FIST BUMP?!

-CARDNAL SIN RIGHT THERE.

-So Marinette gives Alya the miraculous permanently.

-And Hawkmoth/shadowmoth KNOWS she is special and plans to get to know her better....

-Well s*** if this isn't going to blow up idk what will.

____________________________________________________________

This episode is one of the best plots of Hawkmoth if not THE BEST one.

So props to him and Nathalie stepping up their game.

This episode had some good moments and also building a LOT up for later.

Chat noir being sidelined, Alya basically being promoted.

Marinette maybe making a dire mistake.

I think this is the best episode since Gang of Secrets.

so 10/10

I have a few nit picks but honestly it is clearly setting up for something

Its very well done, and I am curious on where it goes from here? Is Alya in danger?

I Guess we will find out in

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Rena Rouge.

[colourful-void]

i'm also gonna ask about Mama and Papa are professional liars - and Anya knows this well (i forgot to title this one so it’s just the first line) because anya is a favorite name

right this is a fic for spy x family so im gonna guess u dont know what spy x family is (go read it) and if u do imma summerize for everyone else

spy x family is a manga in shounen jump. a spy who’s only known name is ‘twlight’ is assigned to a mission that requires him to build a fake family. To do this he adopts an orphan from a sketchy orphanage and convinces a woman he met recently to be his fake wife (all while keeping his identity secret). she agrees, since it benefits her as well. Turns out that she is an assassin named Yor, hiding her true identity from the rest of the fake family. That just leaves the daughter, a girl named Anya. Little do either of her parents know, she is a telepath, and knows everything they’re thinking (not that she’s old enough to really understand). Each member has something to gain by keeping the sham together, and thus they try to keep up the presence of a normal life, as the overaraching plot (twlight’s mission) continues through the story.

its one of my favourite manga.

I wanted to write a fic from Anya’s perspective that went over Anya’s fears of her parents discovering the truth and thus breaking apart the family, resulting in her being abandoned. some hurt/comfort and family fluff, since even though they’re lying, both parents would comfort her and tell her they never will.

(srsly i cannot recc this manga enough it has a dog)

[lookwhatilost]

i finished my second watch of bojack s6 p1 and here’s a predictably massive post of some thoughts/observations abt it

spoilers under the cut obviously

the “fuck” of the season definitely came in a moment that i didn’t expect, but i rly liked how it was used. like, it was a callback to when gina dropped it in the last season –– something that traumatized her vs a reaction to her PTSD symptoms. a lot of people seem unhappy w it but i think it’s more powerful than people are giving it credit for being

the gatsby reference in e3 rly brought to mind that there are, like, a lot of gatsby tie-ins w this show and i never rly pasted them together mentally bc of the ubiquity of the “rich guy is utterly depressed and alone” trope. like, the imagery related to the pool, the shallow parties, the yellow car, the spacious but empty house, the billboards staring him down as he drives when he’s hallucinating in s5. charlotte/daisy being a weak parallel in that he had feelings for her when they were younger, held onto them for years, only for her to be married when they reconnect, but it’s worth mentioning that the glow stick balloons were green.

someone on reddit pointed out that jameson’s baby in e1 had physical traits associated w fetal alcohol syndrome. like, short, upturned nose, eyes that are far apart, and low ears. it’s hard to say if it’s intentional, but he’s drawn w a lot more detail than a lot of the other babies i’ve seen in the show. if it’s purposeful, like, that’s amazing attention to detail

i liked how the season opened on a planetarium flashback, because honestly, the immediate aftermath of sarah lynn’s death is definitely kind of glossed over in s3 when it initially happens. and though i suppose the added information isn’t terribly surprising (like him lying abt the events that lead up to her overdose and minimizing his own role in it as much as possible), it did make me wonder why i hadn’t thought abt it before

bojack rly does show signs of serious growth in the 6th season and it’s cool to finally see him move forward w/o simultaneously backsliding in other ways. a lot of his good actions in previous seasons were only rly things that benefitted him. and there are a lot of examples of it, but i think the one that stuck out to me the most was w his therapist. when he fell off the wagon, it’d have been rly easy for bojack to look the other direction and walk away like we’ve seen him do before. realistically, he has no real incentive to care for doctor champ’s wellbeing if he’s no longer staying at pastiches, but he checks him into rehab anyway, and when doctor champ throws his insecurities in his face to be hurtful, he immediately identifies it for the petty jab it is instead of letting it fuel his negative thoughts and using it as an excuse to dive into self-destructive behavior. honestly e6 was the emotional high water mark of part 1, even though it wasn’t the kind of gut punch that the dramatic, narrative focused episodes of bojack tend to be

i’m glad that the writers finally /did/ something w todd that made him feel like an actual character instead of jst a device for the comedy part of the show. i used to watch this show w a friend and we always used to say that todd had very little depth given the amount of screen time he occupies and seeing them move away from that was refreshing. his struggle w jorge is very relatable as someone whose parents have always pushed me towards things i didn’t sincerely want based on their expectations and desires for me vs my actual opinions of what success and happiness would look like for myself. but, on the other side of the coin, there’s finally a little bit of confrontation of the fact that todd’s erratic behavior and shenanigans are very taxing things for people who care abt him to deal w. and todd is rly the only character who’s somehow defied the show’s formula in that he never faces accountability for the things he does. like, he’s enabled PB’s impulsivity many times and drove him to bankruptcy, care of PB Livin’, and it’s a detail in the show that’s never truly been acknowledged or talked abt at all. he fucked PC over when he wouldn’t follow through w his sham marriage to courtney, and it was met w a cheesy speech from her abt how he needs to follow his heart and do what he thinks is right. it always struck me as a weird oversight, and to finally see someone take him to task for how taxing his behavior can be was refreshing. his only other “depth” was the asexual stuff and honestly? that is stupid and does not actually count for anything

if it didnt warm your heart when PC named her daughter ruthie then you dnt have one. i wasn’t as invested in her narrative as i’d have liked to be, but its good when PC is happy and that’s what everyone wants

IM SO GLAD JUDAH IS BACK. also i still hope he and PC end up together (and maybe she has a viable pregnancy this time w him a la sex and the city charlotte but that’s a little too cornball sappy for this show). generally rly enjoyed how characters from previous seasons were incorporated this time around. but i dnt want them to bring back vincent adultman jst to spite everyone who’s always saying “bring back vincent adultman”

pickles is still my least favorite character even tho the surprise wedding episode was probably the one i found the funniest. realistically i wanna see things work out for PB but his relationship w her is obviously not the move for him, and she’s also the worst

i like diane and guy together, they have rly good chemistry but i also have a bad feeling abt where things are headed w them. he seems ambivalent abt how principled she is and the scene where his son comes to the party and he makes her leave when he could have jst introduced her as a party guest if it even needed to happen at all... there was jst something off abt it. like you can definitely see the cracks in the foundation already and it’s disappointing

the scene btwn PB and bojack where bojack says to him “but i understand that feeling of needing to bottle up your guilt, not burden other people w it. you think you’re protecting them from your toxicity, you convince yourself that you’re being selfless, but it comes out in other ways and it infects everything” hit close to home bc it reminded me of someone i used to bond over this show w and like... whew

i rly love how the dominoes are being set up w the reporters (even tho their his girl friday shtick got old fast) bc the way things are culminating, the story getting out is liable to expose bojack for everything. if they approach penny and she talks to them abt what happened, she’s liable to tell them that bojack and sarah lynn went to ohio to find her in the time before sarah lynn overdosed, and the pictures that her classmates took of them could establish a time frame. he was in new mexico when he was supposed to be filming secretariat, and that knowledge could lead to them finding out that he’d been digitally replaced in the movie. when this information gets out, it’s very likely that gina will dogpile onto it w the truth abt what happened on the set of philbert, since trying to conceal her ptsd is actively hurting her acting career bc of the reputation she’s developing as a problem actress, and even though she dznt *want* to be “that girl that got choked by bojack horseman”, she won’t have a choice if she can’t get jobs otherwise. i guess there’s always a chance that penny and charlotte won’t talk to them, but now that hollyhock knows about what happened in new mexico, either way his personal life will be hurt by this. i’m not sure what’ll happen to him professionally, since there’s a recurring point the series has been making w famous people never being held fully culpable for their negative actions, and it’s a dicey thing for them to approach w a character that many viewers find sympathetic without ending on some myopic note abt cancel culture (whether intentionally or by popular interpretation) but im excited

i also hate how my obsessive watching and rewatching of this show meant that the intended pete repeat reveal (like, you’re not supposed to recognize him until his identity becomes obvious through the prom night story) was sort of compromised for me bc i recognized his voice and the second he introduced himself, i placed him IMMEDIATELY but it was still such a great scene. it’s the most tense i remember feeling when watching and an all around great cliffhanger

the final line of e7 comes off as some rly grim foreshadowing–– “it looks like you found solace in our show. stay if you’d like. in 30 minutes, we start over”. but it’s such an incredible line in context. my god, i fucking love this show, you guys
